Vortex Wars

Small bonuses in XP that come from accomplishing something in game, a few examples:

Map Multiplier = 1 for S, 2 for M, 3 for L, 4 for XL, 5 for XXL

First 8: 1 * Map Multiplier
First Full Storage: 2 * Map Multiplier
First kill: 1 * Map Multiplier
Most turns ending with stored troops: 2 * Map Multiplier
Least boosts used: 1 * Map Multiplier

Any more ideas?

I think rewarding a boost to kills is a good idea, but the others are somewhat over-complex and unnecessary. I don't think we want to encourage turtling with the stored troop objective. The troop limit objective would favor non-upgraded players and the 8 objective would favor red. Overall, they just give more power to those who are already winning.

I see what you mean.

True about turtling, but the bonus is small enough that it would be way more worth your time for getting xp to not turtle. I know it would favor non-upgraded players, something wrong with that They deserve a small bonus. The 8 objective could also be counted by round, you know. They don't actually give extra power to anyone; all they give is xp, they aren't going to help you win, and their are plenty of ways to accomplish these without ending up winning.

I thought about bonuses to people doing the worst (AoE3 has that) but then all the people who get the middle places would complain.

@Joshua I only do that when I have no better chance at the moment. Usually I come out of it later and destroy people.

Sure . Although there was that one time when red was smashing my face in because of a lucky turn when he beat down my 3-region-thick wall of 8s, then I cut him and you charged. Teamwork pwns all.

Didn't I kill you in the next turn?

Yup. It was random and hardcore, so by cutting him all the way down I kinda sacrificed myself so you would win.
